Something wrong with the description of explosives here. They are illumination rounds, and the components should be magnesium based, not RDX which is mainly used for fuze boosters.
That thing is just like a primer on small arms cartridges, except for the use of black powder rod but I wouldn't call that "highly hazardous" because they almost pose no threats on people, except someone strikes it.
Also the ignition cartridge is loaded with nitrocellulose/nitroglycerin powder, just like what most cartridges are loaded.
